COOLING SYSTEM.

To all whom it may concern: 7

Be it known that I, WILLIAM Oarns, Jr., a citizen of the United States residing at Lead in the county of Lawrence and State of South Dakota, have invented new and useful Improvements in Cooling Systems, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to an attachment for cooling systems of automobiles and the like and the principal object of the invention is to provide means whereby the water capacity of the cooling system may be increased and the cooling surfaces enlarged.

Another object of the invention is to make the attachment easily applicable to the cooling systems now in use and also to place the attachment where it will receive the air from the fan.

This invention also consists in certain other features of construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, to be hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings and specifically pointed out in the appended claim.

In describing my invention in detail, reference will be had to the accompanying drawings wherein like characters denote like or corresponding parts throughout the several views, and in which Figure 1 is a diagrammatic view showing the device in use.

Fig. 2 is a sectional view through the device itself.

Fig. 3 is a section on line 3-3 of Fig. 2.

As shown in Fig. 1 the device, indicated generally at 1, is connected with the pipe line leading from the bottom of the radiator 2 to the inlet of the water jacket 'of the motor, shown at 8. The device is made in the form of a cylindrical drum with the inlet nipple 4L and the outlet nipple 5 project Specification of Letters Patent.

ing from the ends, said nipples being arranged adjacent one side of the drum. Baffle plates 6 are arranged in said drum so as to give the water a Zig zag path as it passes through the drum. The lower plates have small openings? in their lower edges is made of considerable size the quantity of water used in the cooling system is considerably increased thus preventing overheating of the motor in hot weather or unusual conditions.

' It is thought from the foregoing description that the advantages and novel features of my invention will be readily apparent.

I desire it to be understood that I may make changes in the construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, provided that such changes fall within the scope of the appended claim.

What I claim is':

In combination with a water system of an internal combustion engine, a cylindrical drum, an inlet nipple and an outlet nipple projecting from the end, said nipple being arranged adjacent one side of the drum, an upper baffie plate arranged in said drum so as to give the water a zig zag path as it passes therethrough, lower plates having openings formed in their lower edges for permitting the water to drain from the drum when the cooling system is drained, said drum being connected with the pipe line leading from the bottom of the radiator to the inlet of the water jacket of the motor.

In testimony whereof I afliX my signature.
